I also think King Solomon's Mines is one of the great timeless adventure books.

I see The Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dare available in Kindle. I wish more of them were available, he was a great writer. So was Helen McInnes.

Any of the first 6-7 Tom Clancy "Jack Ryan" books + Red Storm Rising which he wrote with Larry Bond, plus any of Larry Bonds first books like Red Phoenix and Vortex. I haven't kept up with either of them but I've had the impression Clancy's later stuff wasn't as 5 star. I also loved the first 4-5 of Dale Brown's books and Harold Coyle's Sword Point but those aren't really available in ebook (Coyle and Brown). David Poyer and Steven Coonts are though (at least Kindle) and they write some good thrillers.

And if you haven't read Jurassic Park or Jaws, those were much better books than movies even if they did make great movies.
